Some of the sustainable technology we are currently
installing to support energy improvements for both
existing and new clients include:
• High efficiency heating systems and controls
• Heating with biomass and bio fuels
• Heat pumps – air and ground
• Solar water heating
• Photovoltaic (PV) Cells
• Wind power
• Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
• Water saving technologies
Although most property owners will accept the need
to introduce sustainable energy to their buildings,
many will remain confused about the technology
and be unsure which contractors have the necessary
knowledge and experience to achieve their energy
usage objectives. Fortunately, Wessex has already
gained extensive practical experience on a
number of high profile
projects, that include the
recently completed ‘green
house hotel’ as well as the
installation of numerous
green energy systems in
schools, churches and for local authorities.

and incentive schemes, mean we will all be driven to
run greener buildings. In addition to environmental
factors, experts suggest that by 2020 we will be
importing 90% of all our gas and oil supplies from
increasingly unstable sources such as Russia and
Afghanistan. Added to this sobering fact is that the
average UK gas bill has gone up by 35% since 2003.
The mechanical & electrical services landscape is
changing fast, and in the next decade the technology
and skills required by the industry will probably be
unrecognisable from today. Wessex has long since
recognised how important it is to be able to specialise
in the design, installation and maintenance of
sustainable technologies.
We have already invested heavily in researching new
technology, appropriate to both new and existing
buildings, establishing a reliable support network of
leading manufacturers. We also invest time and much
effort identifying all the relevant capital investment
Wessex Fire and Security have
recently completed the fire alarm
and intruder alarm upgrade to

Crewkerne.

minimal fuss. They co-ordinate well with
onsite management quickly dealing with
any teething problems and they are

Experience Counts
When it comes to renewable energy,
Wessex Building Services are fast
becoming known as a trusted and
proficient supplier of renewable and
sustainable technologies.

Wessex Building Services
recently completed a number
of innovative sustainable
technologies to the newly
refurbished ‘green house’ hotel
in Bournemouth, (part of the
City Eco Hotel Group) which
included solar
thermal hot
water production,
a CHP scheme
and intelligent
lighting.
Spetisbury Construction chose Wessex
Building Services to take control over the
complete electrical, heating and ventilation
installation to the green house hotel.
The green house will be a beautiful boutique
hotel that lives and breathes sustainability.
Situated in the heart of Bournemouth, the
green house opens in April 2010 after
undergoing a complete refurbishment.
Wessex installed a 5 panel solar heating
system, a CHP (combined heat & power)
generator unit producing 5.5kWh of electricity,
a boiler system running in 100% condensing
mode, high efficiency pipe work / fittings and
intelligent lighting to reduce power
consumption together with a full electrical
rewire, heating, ventilation and plumbing
installations.
In addition to their very strict requirement for
such sustainable energy solutions, Wessex were
also required to fit sustainable sanitary-ware
such as hand basins (carved from solid stone)
mounted on oak pedestals (made from
reclaimed oak)
“Wessex was a good choice as they incorporate
both mechanical and electrical disciplines and
coordinate works extremely well; we are always
pleased when using Wessex.”

Although one of the smaller mainstream
denominations, the United Reformed Church plays
a dynamic and challenging part in the British
Christian community with around one hundred
thousand people making up 1600 congregations,
with nearly 800 ministers, paid and unpaid.
Wessex is often contacted to work on ecclesiastical
and sensitive buildings within southern UK and was only too pleased to design and install two solar
heating panels to supply hot water to the kitchen facilities and wash rooms for their newly built
extension.
A simple requirement to significantly reduce the water heating bills and reduce energy consumption
to buildings is now becoming commonplace. With such an extensive portfolio of works and with
knowledge and experience for both innovative and renewable energy solutions, Wessex Building
Services continue to go from strength to strength.

Sustainable Energy Survey.
Wessex have been one of the longest standing government led Warm Front partners aimed
to improve the living conditions of vulnerable people living in cold, damp and energy
inefficient houses, and have upgraded thousands of gas and electric heating systems under
this initiative since 2001.
Gordon Green, Wessex Electricals Director explained; “Any genuine incentive to the public
that encourages householders to decommission inefficient old boilers and install A-rated
energy efficient systems, will go a long way to significantly reducing the environmental
impact and reduce fuel bills during a time when fuel is so costly.”
For impartial advice on the boiler scrappage scheme telephone Wessex on 0800 652 2888
Following the Government’s offer to UK households
of £400 towards the cost of upgrading their old
boilers (if G-rated) to a high efficiency A-rated one;
Wessex have set up a direct line to deal with the
extra enquiries and have been pleased to offer free
advice and on-site surveys to the public.
With Wessex Electricals and Wessex HVAC &
Plumbing having both experience and commitment
to supporting sustainable energy solutions, the
boiler scrappage scheme has been welcomed by
Wessex as replacing an old boiler could save
householders over a fifth on fuel bills – and up to
32% if you opt for a condensing boiler.
